Silence is Golden
There are two kinds of people; one who loves to listen to the silence in the air and the other that wants constant noise. If you are married and you crave silence, do you ever talk to one another? Do you just meditate until you communicate telepathically? And if you both crave noise, is there ever enough room for an opinion? Does the noise drown out any hope of a conversation or is the conversations a bunch of yelling while each one attempts to out do the other? These are things to ponder if there is no silence.
If one that loves silence is married to one that craves the noise there is a balance that lies between where each can find peace with and in the other. This is something I am familiar with in my marriage and also with the marriages of my friends. It is something I have noticed over the last few years and marveled how wonderful it seems to work and move. So while silence is indeed golden, there is room for what wonderful noise can bring as well…
